Saw this on xda forums:
Slow wifi speed for anyone? [Archive] - xda-developers
At my house, sprint is weak in signal. In the winter, no leaves on the trees etc, it is better but we get ok signal. I hook my phones to my wifi and WP7 sometimes runs really fast, other times it just is SLLLOOOOOOWWWWW. I think this is a bug as when I am away from home in good cell signal it is zippy, and sometimes at home when it seems to be using the wifi only, it is zippy, but I think WP7 is trying to use the cell signal first then wifi. I have seen things that make me wonder what is up:
When I unlocked the screen, why is the wifi icon animated and then goes full? Shouldn't this stay full?
Sometimes I pull up an app, marketplace and the wifi logo pops up and it runs fast, then sometimes the roaming pops up and slows it down. Again I think the os can't make up its mind on what signal to use.
To me, if you have a phone on wifi you get get only three things through the cell towers:
1) Push notifications
2) Cell calls
3) SMS and other text messages
Everything else should default to the wifi data and most phones do, but WP7 isn't. Anybody else see this? I hope it is fixed soon.
